TLDR
Results emphasize the importance of vegetation and litter cover in maintaining infiltration capacity and soil stability in high-elevation herbland on the Wasatch Front, which is affected significantly by soil properties, notably bulk density, aggregation, and moisture content.Abstract:
The influences of vegetation, soil properties, and slope gradient on infiltration capacity and soil stability of high-elevation herbland on the Wasatch Front in northern Utah were investigated under simulated rainfall conditions. Results emphasize the importance of vegetation and litter cover in maintaining infiltration capacity and soil stability. Infiltration is also affected significantly by soil properties, notably bulk density, aggregation, and moisture content.read more

Fire Effects on Soil Infiltration
Artemi Cerdà,Peter R. Robichaud +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fire on the infiltration process and infiltration rates are described and illustrated with data from studies where the authors measured before and after wildfires or compared in paired======(burned and unburned) plots.

Ecohydrologic Impacts of Rangeland Fire on Runoff and Erosion: A Literature Synthesis
TL;DR: In this article, an eco-hydrologic perspective on the effects of fire on rangeland runoff and erosion through a review of scientific literature spanning many decades is presented, which is intended to provide a useful reference and conceptual framework for understanding and evaluating impacts of fire.
